Desert Hot Springs , California - Palm Springs offers the character of boutiques and cafes, it doesn’t have a hot spring to speak of (just a weak little one on Indian land). Palm Desert and the other down-valley communities have golf courses and lavish resorts, but they don’t have scalding mineral springs, like Desert Hot Springs
. Ancient geothermal forces spawned a vast aquifer 100 feet below the earth’s surface, filled with rich mineral water naturally heated to 180 degrees. These storied waters, said to have provided habitat to wildlife and sustained Native American peoples, are believed to hold powerful curative powers. A legacy of miracles is helping to fuel the dynamic community renaissance, now underway in
Desert Hot Springs. The water comes out of the ground at between 140 and 160 degrees. It is cooled down with cold-spring water, and many of the resorts , large or small, have a soaking pool at about 105 degrees, another in the high 90s and a swimming pool in the high 80s. Spa treatments are offered just about everywhere, from massages to wraps to mud facials to Watsu pool therapy.
It’s very easy to submerge into this world of profound relaxation and never want to resurface again.
Speaking of H2O, although cities throughout the West struggle to procure and provide safe and adequate drinking water, Desert Hot Springs has been tapped as having some of the best-tasting water in the world. At the international Berkeley Springs Water Tasting and Competition, the same water served domestically in the City of Desert Hot Springs by Mission Springs Water District, has taken five medals in eight years of competition. With two gold, two silver, and one bronze, it has become obvious that there is no water in the west like the water in Desert Hot Springs.
The Hoteliers Association of Desert Hot Springs represents small inns ranging in aesthetics from minimalist to naturalist, to the larger, resort-style properties with complete spa amenities. Desert Hot Springs health and wellness niche is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the hospitality industry.
